How many of you have a TRUE PASSION for this crazy sport we call bodybuilding?  I don't mean you "like bodybuilding" or you do it "just for fun".  I'm talking about a true NEED and ADDICTION to pumping cold steel!

I read the above quote in Dr. Carlon Colker's book "Extreme Muscle Enhancement" (a hell of a book) and it summarized my feelings about this sport.  The quote came from the bodybuilding legend Al Beckles.  Al was competing in his mid 50's and early 60's and the sick thing is he was beating competitors that was in their 20's.  Dr. Colker was talking to Beckles after a show he had just won and he asked Beckles "How long will you bodybuild"?  Beckles replied "til they nail me in a box"! 

That powerful statement says it all!  As weird as it sounds the cold iron is like a warm security blanket to me.  No matter how much craziness life throws my way, I can always put everything out of my mind when I'm training!  They'll have to pry the cold iron out of my cold dead hands!!!

Train hard and have a blessed day everyone!
